Crock Pot Monday: Orange Chicken

I got this recipe from Pinterest. And I have to say, whoever said this was delicious sits on a thrown of lies!!!! Even if you LOVE orange flavored stuff, I think this would still be too orange-y for you. I mean it's like knock you on the ground orange-y. The chicken itself was good and I think with some major adjustments to the recipe, it could be good. Especially if you used less orange juice and more teriyaki/soy sauce. Panda Express sells their yummy sauces at Wal-Mart by the other Asian food stuff. Add some of it and it will definitely be good! But I have to be honest and say that I didn't even eat that much of this tonight because it was just too much for me. And that NEVER happens- I'll eat anything! Literally. But you live and you learn! A few friends sent me some other yummy looking crock pot recipes and I will be trying those soon! Here's the orange chicken recipe.

Ingredients:
- 1 pound of chicken, chopped into small chunks
- 1/3 cup of flour
- olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons of ketchup
- 6 ounces of frozen orange juice concentrate
- 4 tablespoons of brown sugar

Directions:
1) In a bowl, mix the OJ, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, and ketchup.
2) Pour the flour in another bowl. Toss the chicken until it's evenly coated.
3) Pour a small amount of olive oil in a skillet and brown the chicken. It doesn't need to be fully cooked since it's going in the crock pot. Just sear it so it will have the crust on the outside.
4) After the chicken is done, put it in the crock pot and pour the sauce on top. Cook on low for 5-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours.
5) Voila!
